Ingredients
- 1 medium-sized pineapple (fresh, ripe)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup apple cider vinegar (unfiltered)
- 0.25 cup water
Directions
Step 1
Peel and core the pineapple, then chop it into small chunks.
Step 2
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the pineapple chunks with the granulated sugar. Stir to coat the pineapple evenly with sugar.
Step 3
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel, and let it sit at room temperature for 12-24 hours. This process will draw out the pineapple’s juices and create a syrup.
Step 4
After the resting period, strain the pineapple syrup through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a clean jar or bowl. Press down on the pineapple pieces to extract as much juice as possible.
Step 5
Discard or save the pineapple solids for another use, such as in smoothies or desserts.
Step 6
In a separate bowl, mix the apple cider vinegar and water together. Stir this mixture into the pineapple syrup until fully combined.
Step 7
Pour the pineapple shrub into a sterilized glass bottle or jar with a tight-fitting lid. Seal the container and store in the refrigerator for up to 1 month.
Step 8
To serve, mix 1-2 tablespoons of pineapple shrub with sparkling water, soda, or use it as a mixer in cocktails. Adjust the amount to taste.
